The little 4 yr old was cute. I really can't see her as having much of a career as a singer, but I bet we end up seeing her in commercials and maybe a movie or tv show. She had a lot of stage presence for a 4 yr old, but not overly fake or precocious.
As for Eli Mattson -- he was wonderful! He's only 26 so I was wondering why he hadn't tried out for AI (or maybe he has but never made it through?) He maybe could have given David Cook a run for his money this year, or he could have been a favorite next season.

America's Got Talent. I've never watched the show in its previous seasons, so I have no idea how the performances, elimination rounds and voting work, so it will be interesting to see how this goes.
I've never watched the show in its entirety either, just caught a glimpse now and then. I think I'll be paying attention this year though...I just watched him again on youtube(thanks for posting it!) his voice is amazing! And you can see it in his face, his eyes, he is singing from his heart. It was very moving. (goosebumps worthy!) If for some strange reason he doesn't make it on this show, I hope he continues to pursue his dream---I would be first in line to buy his CD! And if he continues on in the show...I may be joining yet another forum!!! (This place will always be my first home though-DC#1)

Maybe if enough members here like Eli, we can have our own special thread??? Just to show our support???
